The two of them had been pressed against the door, trying to hear what the other person was talking about.

The door was very soundproof, so they didn't hear anything, but they still slammed in like that, which was really embarrassing and infuriating.

Jiang Wanning...

Meng Yu...

"We were just passing by," Xu Ying explained awkwardly, mostly because she was afraid Meng Yu would be displeased.

After all, a thirteen-year-old is already considered to be in puberty.

The thoughts of teenagers are truly unfathomable.

Unexpectedly, Meng Yu walked towards them, stretching out his slender hands, one in each hand.

Do you want me to lend you a hand?

He's so thin, he looks like a gust of wind could blow him away.

He wasn't thin due to puberty growth spurts, but rather from long-term malnutrition.

Thanks to Xu Ying and Meng Tian's good genes, the boy's height was not hindered.

Xu Ying placed her hand on it, her face somewhat dazed, as if she couldn't believe it.

Meng Tian grasped the boy's hand.

Meng Yu helped the two of them up.

He didn't let go immediately, which Meng Tian and Xu Ying were naturally more than happy to do, and of course they wouldn't let go either.

After holding their hands for a while longer, Meng Yu seemed to have figured it out.

He let go of their hands and smiled: "Mom's hands are soft, and Dad's hands are hard and strong."

Xu Ying was on the verge of tears.

"Xiao Yu, what did you call me?"

"mom."

Meng Tian looked at Meng Yu expectantly.

Meng Yu looked at him: "Dad."

He solemnly explained to them, "I'm sorry. I was too willful. I'm only calling you now. I don't resent you. Really. I just can't accept it right now. Now, I understand. I have parents, which is good. I can live a normal life, which is also good. These past thirteen years weren't your fault. I was actually quite happy. Every time I was in the basement, I would try to recall my life above ground, and then draw on the ground with my finger, drawing repeatedly. Those images would never be forgotten; they would always remain in my mind. That person, besides locking me up and being indifferent to me, was occasionally gentle. At least she didn't often hit me, and rarely interfered with me, allowing me to develop freely. My thoughts were never bound by anyone."

From now on, I don't want to be controlled by anyone. Don't worry, I won't do anything out of line. What I need is for you to allow me to be myself in my own way. Because there are so many things I want to do.

Jiang Wanning gave Meng Yu a thumbs up.

This child, who was a little timid at first, seems to be showing his social skills now.

Although he spent most of his time underground and out of sight, he had a clear mind and a quick understanding.

Xu Ying and Meng Tian nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, we will let you grow up in the way you like."

"You don't need to feel guilty anymore. At least I'm healthy and haven't become an idiot, have you?"

Everyone was amused by Meng Yu's words.

The atmosphere immediately became more cheerful.

Only Jiang Wanning knew that Xu Ying and Meng Tian still carried a heavy burden in their hearts.

It takes time to find peace; it can't be rushed.

Meng Tian also gave a lecture to Jiang Wanning, and Meng Yu naturally listened in from the side.

It has to be said that Meng Yu is one of those children who are practically fed by the heavens.

In the evening, Fu Chenyuan came to pick up Jiang Wanning.

Meng Yu was somewhat reluctant to part with him.

"Cousin, can I stay at your place tonight?"

Jiang Wanning looked at Fu Chenyuan, her eyes sparkling and blinking.

She didn't speak, but every cell in her body seemed to be begging Fu Chenyuan to agree.

How could Fu Chenyuan refuse?

Let's not go back to Lanyue Bay today, let's go back to the old house tonight.

They left Meng Yu with the elders in the family who were eagerly awaiting a grandson.

Meng Yu looked at Xu Ying and Meng Tian: "Dad, Mom, it's not that I don't want to be with you. I think your relationship needs some work out. You should decide carefully whether to stay together or break up. Don't worry about me. Whether you stay together or break up, you will always be my parents."

Meng Yu got into the car and sat in the passenger seat without any hesitation.

He looked at Fu Chenyuan, grinned, and smiled in a silly, obedient way: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I won't be a third wheel. I'll sit in the front with the driver."

His words should have been better left unsaid; they only made it clear that Fu Chenyuan considered him a burden.

Jiang Wanning couldn't suppress a smile even after getting into the car.

She secretly pinched Fu Chenyuan's arm; hmm, it was so hard.

Indeed, men and women are born with some differences in their physical structure.

His arms are almost entirely muscle, with beautiful lines.

Her arms were soft.

Fu Chenyuan grabbed her hand, their fingers intertwined, and turned his head to bite Jiang Wanning's ear.

Jiang Wanning covered her mouth and glared at him. "Take it easy, will you? There's a minor in front of us!"

"Xiao Yu, I'm taking you out for dinner tonight. What would you like to eat?"

"It's up to you. I've heard that Chinese food is especially delicious, as long as it's not hamburgers or anything like that, it's fine."

When there are no other options, hamburgers are indeed the most delicious food; when there are other options, none of them are.

"Okay, let's go eat hot pot then. You can put anything in it, you can cook whatever you want, how about that?"

“Okay,” Meng Yu replied.

The car drove into the mall's underground parking garage.

Jiang Wanning and Fu Chenyuan took Meng Yu to a beef hot pot restaurant.

She and Fu Chenyuan had eaten at this beef hot pot restaurant before. The taste was pretty good. The beef was freshly cut, and each person had their own small soup pot to cook it themselves.

Jiang Wanning ordered a tomato hot pot for Meng Yu, a spicy hot pot for herself, and a beef bone broth hot pot for Fu Chenyuan.

"Xiao Yu, what seasonings do you want?"

Meng Yu laughed: "Cousin, I'm not a child anymore. I can do it myself. You can just date your husband."

This little guy is precocious for his age.

Jiang Wanning leaned over and poked Fu Chenyuan's waist: "Honey, what kind of seasoning do you want?"

Fu Chenyuan removed her mischievous hand: "Sit still, I'll take care of it for you."

"Okay, thank you, honey."

That "husband" was so sweet it was almost dripping with honey, that people turned to look.

I was stunned when I saw it.

What an amazing couple with such incredible good looks!

Some people even took photos of the two of them.

Jiang Wanning and Fu Chenyuan, completely unaware of this, secretly flirted with each other.

In their view, this was normal behavior.

They had only been married a short time and were very affectionate.

Fu Chenyuan's love for Jiang Wanning was wholehearted and unconditional.

Jiang Wanning also fell for him very quickly in their daily lives.

Jiang Wanning sat obediently in her seat. A girl next to her leaned over, her eyes gleaming with a fanatical light as she stared intently at Jiang Wanning.
